this will be the last time i address you kathy. you seem to not be able to understand things to well. I think thats why this has turned out the way it has. First off, no one has backpedaled. I replied in my second post that im open to all comments. No where did i say that i said that in my original post. I origanally was "targeting" a certain range of people. after seeing it offended, i added i would like to hear all comments. Do you understand now???? and whos lame? I grew up here lady! Ive watched all the beaches i surfed daily go to **** with trash, poor quality water, traffic going nuts everywhere, burgleries through the roof, i never remembered closing all the windows and locking the doors growing up here. now i do it religously. I own property here and a beautiful house. I manage a 8 acre orchid farm. It sadends me to what has happend to hawaii. I dont go jogging anymore due to poor air quality all the time. In fact this last week ive woke up and coughed for hours but im not sick. I want to know if people around my age range feel the same way and what they plan to do about it. instead, people like you, who feel like they dont meet MY range wanna insult and make unfounded claims with no merit. I have done alot here and seen alot here, whats there left to get? just cause im 30 im missing something? Ive hiked the whole island. surfed places only accessed by boat. spent numerous hours picking up rubbish at local beaches and roadside, used to be in civil air patrol, on and on. what dont i get kathy? as far as the attitude goes, the new "haoles" ive meet continuously complain about the rasism here. WAY more than before. They seem to also be alot more ignorant. they come here and build and block of 4x4 trails that have been used for 20-30 years. this is happening on both sides of the island. beach access being taken away, because all of a sudden, they own the land and thats it!! I see tons more trash everywhere. Look at the old cinder cones in kapoho, i was riding dirt bikes there since i was 10. closed because it turned in a dump site. just one example......... no aloha for the land from both locals and "haoles" or should i say very little. assults are steady and rising and have been for the last 5 plus years along with theft. all being apart of this attitude im talking about. listen, im no newbie to this place. 10 years in keaukaha growing up a skinny haole, never burglarized, beat up, stolen from....... and that place was supposed to be HARDCORE. 10 years in HPP. now all i hear is buglaries and beatings, ice heads running around stealing, hondas and acuras being stolen by punk kids at a alarming rate........... yeah it happens everywhere. our population here is under 150k? do the numbers and look and the current statistics. thats all you have to do. this island will alway be beautiful and exotic but at what price? For someone in my statistical range, can i live up to my full potential in life living here? Heath wise, financially, mentally? I see these things affecting numerous people here when it should be the opposite. Was it like this 10+ years ago?? No, so what is the next 10 years going to bring? youre right kathy i dont get it. maybe ill try again when im 40 lol.
